Williamson will start in left field and bat sixth Tuesday night against the Rockies, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson had his contract selected from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day, and he'll be immediately forced into duty. He hit .378 with nine homers and 22 RBI over 23 games with the River Cats in 2019.

The Giants plan to select Williamson's contract from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson was designated for assignment coming out of spring training after the Giants elected to enter the regular season with Gerardo Parra, Connor Joe and Michael Reed as their corner-outfield options. All three players have since been removed from the 40-man roster, while Williamson has earned his way back onto it on the strength of his stellar power production in the Pacific Coast League. After slugging three more home runs Monday in Sacramento's 12-6 win over Reno, Williamson is sporting a .378/.459/.756 slash line across 98 plate appearances. With Mike Gerber offering little impact as the Giants' primary left fielder, Williamson could unseat him for a full-time role right away and may make for an appealing option in DFS and leagues with daily moves as San Francisco begins a three-game set at Coors Field.

Williamson cleared waivers and will report to Triple-A Sacramento, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson will stick in the Giants' organization after passing through waivers untouched. The 28-year-old outfielder owns a career .222/.295/.386 line across parts of four big-league campaigns (120 games).

Williamson, who was designated for assignment Thursday, is no longer dealing with a hand injury, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This explains why he was designated for assignment rather than placed on the injured list. He will now be exposed to waivers.

Williamson (hand) was designated for assignment, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

X-rays on his injured right hand came back negative earlier this week, but he nonetheless failed to make the team or retain a spot on the 40-man roster. He will now be subject to waviers.

Williamson had X-rays on his right hand come back negative following Tuesday's exhibition game against the Athletics, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson was hit by a pitch on the hand after coming off the bench, though he was able to remain in the game until it was called due to rain. It remains unclear whether the injury will impact the 28-year-old's status for Opening Day, as he has been the favorite for the starting job in left field.

Williamson has a leg up on winning the Giants' starting left field job to begin the season, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

EDGE Analysis

Pavlovic stated that Tuesday's outfield configuration of Williamson-Duggar-Parra could represent the team's Opening Day lineup. Williamson is slashing just .207/.281/.380 over 32 plate appearances this spring, but his primary competition of Cameron Maybin and Austin Slater aren't faring much better. To this point, the 27-year-old has the makeup of your typical "Quad-A" player, destroying Triple-A pitching last year (.269/.372/.533) while struggling in the majors (.213/.295/.383). Despite his flaws, Williamson has the raw power to eclipse 20 homers with a regular role, so he can provide value to those in deeper formats if he does win a starting job.

Williamson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-2 victory over Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson launched a two-run blast over the wall in center field in the fourth inning, marking his first hit of camp. He was limited to just 94 at-bats after battling with concussion-like symptoms throughout the 2018 season, but after a healthy offseason, he's in the running to win over a starting job in the Giants' outfield for the 2019 campaign.

Williamson (concussion) has been clear of concussion symptoms since he resumed hitting in mid-September, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson suffered the concussion in April and had the symptoms crop up again in August, hasn't had any issues during the offseason. The 28-year-old saw only 105 major-league plate appearances in 2018 and slashed .213/.295/.383 and also played in 52 games at Triple-A Sacramento. Williamson will be in play for a starting spot in San Francisco's unproven outfield group.

Williamson was placed on the seven-day minor-league disabled list Saturday, and is being evaluated for concussion symptoms, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williamson hasn't appeared in a game for Triple-A Sacramento since Aug. 7, and his absence is related to a concussion he sustained back in April. More information should roll out after the outfielder is evaluated by team doctors, but this development puts his September call up chances in jeopardy. The 27-year-old was slashing .269/.372/.533 with 13 homers in the minors, but he struggled (.213/.295/.383) during a 28-game stint in the majors this season.
